I didn't realize that the life of a baseball catcher was so dangerous. After watching the video of Jose Molina's balls getting owned by a baseball, I hoped that I would never see such a horrendous thing happen to another guy. A day later, my wishes weren't answered.

Chris Snyder took one in the jewels after a game on Monday night and he's not gonna be back for a little while, one of his balls is broke (OUCH!!!!!!!!!@!):

Catcher Chris Snyder left Monday night's game after getting hit by a foul tip in the groin area. About an hour before Tuesday's game the Diamondbacks put him on the 15-day disabled list with a left testicular fracture.

Snyder will undergo surgery on Wednesday with Melvin hoping his return is relatively soon.

"Hopefully looking at a 15-day period, where he is back after the All-Star break," Melvin said after the D-Backs 8-6 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday night.
